twenty policemen. There Is one po-

policeman besides the two on horse

with Dowsett.

the examination IN chief. Ile ques-

The AIarshal-Even If 1 did ask the
question yesterday there Is no harm
IN repeating 1t. without the gentlemen
of the defense are afraid If they

asked again, and any other that
touches upon the affair after the party
left the house and while they were
at the gate.
